Stretching Skin After Tummy Tuck?

User Avatar

I am 8 weeks post op from Tummy Tuck, and still sore around the incision; how much longer before it goes away? Also, when I eat or drink 16oz of water all at once, I feel as if my skin is stretching. Does this mean that my skin is really stretching and the skin will start getting the way it used to look before?
